The network would randomly give F-Rank quests and a few D-Rank quests. They were relatively easy to accomplish so he replenished his points.
However some of them involved the collection of money so he couldn't help but ask.
”Network, does money count towards the reincarnation score?”
Yes, however the default is to allow your descendants to receive it
He was a millionaire in his past life and had no children. The family he was born to had also been negligent so he had cut contact.

To combat the smell of the outhouse, he used fragrant incense and with his new ability, he was able to thoroughly sanitize his estate. The bed wasn't comfortable but it was tolerable and he would prefer sleeping on the wooden chairs he made.
Through trading his abundant produce and sometimes his peculiar wooden furniture, he earned enough money to compete with the major households in the village. Some of the households began to sending suitors, even the one he previously fancied. Of course, he rejected them due to detesting white lotuses and disregard for romance.
[C-Rank Quest:
Objective: Obtain the Artifact from the Caravan
Reward: *Unknown* and 500 points]
The town at this point could be called a town due to the growing size. Due to his contributions, Wei was unanimously and unofficially nominated as the chief. Unlike the previous year, this winter it was likely that no one would starve to death and they might not even need to ration food.
Wei's produce took longer to expire, tasted better, and were sold at a low price. He didn't crave money and he had far too much vegetables. The caravan came to the town hearing of the bountiful food and their master botanist.
At the same time, the caravan arrived, Wei's figure could be seen.
”Greetings townsfolk, I would like to meet with your master botanist”, the caravan leader asked while his people were checking and unloading the merchandise.
Wei greeted the caravan leader and led him to his house. It was still covered by vines but Wei had created a path through which people could enter.
As expected of the master botanist, the merchant thought. He could even make vines into art.
To prevent questioning about his efficient irrigation, he constructed a false well. He had considered a lake but that would be too peculiar as the farm was dirt cheap.
Arriving at Wei's house, the merchant commented that it was different from the other houses. Wei had constructed a cabin while the other houses were still oriental with some having thatched roofs.
Wei had prepared a meal to express his hospitality.
”The master botanist can also cook?”
”Of course, I live alone after all”
Taking a bite of the risotto, the merchant beamed.
”This is even better than the restaurants in the capital,” he stated as he wolfed down the meal.
After the meal, the two finally began to discuss trade.
”What brings a wealthy caravan to this backwater village?”
”Surely you jest, this village is in an even better condition than most towns. At this time, most people would be gathering as much food as possible but in this town, everybody is relaxing”
”Is the capital still preparing for winter?”
”Yes, that's why trade is slowing down and food prices are rising”
”Then I a.s.sume the reason you came must be more than trade?”
”Yes, I would like you to revive this plant”
The merchant brought out a withering blossom tree that was still in its infancy. It was near death but definitely salvageable with his ability.
”My sponsor cherishes this tree more than his children and we will be willing to pay any price”
”I need neither money nor food. However, I heard you brought an artifact”
”The artifact has yet to be appraised and-”
The merchant stopped when he saw the blossom regain color while Wei was considering how he could get the artifact.
”As expected of the master botanist, even plants refuse to die in your presence!”
Wei was about to refute his claim but he then saw the blossom bloom.
He had subconsciously refined the soil and the effect had been drastic.
The wilted tree had blooming blossoms and even grew a centimeters in a matter of 10 minutes.
”If it's you then the artifact should be fine”
The merchant retrieved the heart-shaped relic and was about to give it to Wei when the relic began glowing.
The object emitted a powerful radiance which blinded both people. It then flew towards Wei's heart and he spewed blood.
